Neil Young will not offer so-called platinum tickets for its upcoming tour 2025. In general, he does not believe in card prices that can increase depending on demand. He calls the type of pre -sale, just as Ticketmaster runs it, a “fraud”. In his bashing from “Dynamic Pricing” he quoted primarily Robert Smith-the The-Cure front man had already found clear words in 2024.
On the side of Robert Smith
On his website, Neil Young shared some statements by Smith from last year. Then he said, among other things: “I was shocked how much profit [mit dem Kartenverkauf] is made. I thought, ‘We don’t need to make so much money. My fights with the label always revolved around how we can lower prices. The only reason why you ask more for a concert is that you are worried that it was the last time you can sell a T-shirt. ” And it also said from Robert Smith: “It was easy to set ticket prices, but you have to have a stubborn. We did not allow the dynamic pricing because this is a stitch that would disappear if every artist would say: ‘I don’t want that!’ But most of the artists hide them.
“That didn’t feel right”
And now Neil Young lets his fans know about this kind of increase in concert tickets: “It is the story of a bad thing that has happened to the concerts worldwide. It is this story that really helped me to realize that I can make a choice and make something for my music enthusiasts. My management and my agent have always tried to cover my back on the street. To protect the best tickets for their own profit at enormous prices.
People should regulate this among themselves
Young ended his statement with the warning words: “I decided to have people regulated under them. Buy aggressively when the tickets come out, or the tickets will cost a lot more on the secondary market.”
Previously, the upcoming Reunion tour from Oasis in relation to the dynamic pricing had caused resentment among fans.
Neil Young in July live in Germany
Neil Young is on tour with his new band The Chrome Hearts in the summer: together with Spooner Oldham (Farfisa Orgel), Micah Nelson (guitar, vocals), Corey McCormick (bass, vocals) and Anthony Logerfo (drums) will also be seen in Germany. The setlist promises a mixture of classics, new songs and extensive jam sessions-exactly what Young has stood for for years.
After his previous tour with Crazy Horse, this is excellent news for fans. Young had openly spoke in 2024 that he was simply no longer able to continue: “One morning I woke up on the bus and said to myself:” I can’t anymore, I have to stop. ‘ I got bad when I thought of going on the stage. And so I listened to my body. “
The musician is now returning with new energy and new band. The tour start will take place on June 18 in Sweden before going through Europe and Great Britain.
